Question

A toy train moves 40m in 20s at the constant velocity. What is the toy’s velocity? *
1 point

Answer 1

Answer:

2 m/s

Explanation:

Velocity is a vector quantity that is given by:

$v=\frac{d}{y}$

where

d is the displacement of the object (a vector indicating its change in position)

t is the time elapsed

Note that since velocity is a vector, it has both a magnitude and a direction (the same as the displacement).

For the toy train in this problem, we have:

d = 40 m (displacement)

t = 20 s (time elapsed)

So, its velocity is:

$v=\frac{40}{20}=2 m/s$
